@John I didn't move to the Detroit area til 1991 ... by then CKLW wasn't Top 40 anymore. But I lived in Sarnia Ontario from '81 to '91, it's about 60 miles from Detroit/Windsor and I listened CKLW sometimes then, it was a great station! I have a DVD documentary about CKLW The Big 800, it's excellent. Have you listened to it?

Avatar 8:14am
randyfrommichigan:

WBEN-FM aired a mixture of live and automated music, mostly easy listening and block music programming, such as organ music. As FM listening grew, the station became "Rock 102" in 1973, using the syndicated TM "Stereo Rock" automated contemporary hits format and dropping the morning show simulcast with WBEN. This same TM format and its prerecorded announcer were heard on other stations in Upstate New York during this perio

Bob Fass at NYC's WBAI-FM was one of the first "free form" DJs in the late '60s. He influenced Vin Scelsa of WFMU in '67. The rest is free form history. And things are even better today as we have decades more music to choose from! Thanks again Jeffrey & Jeff!

Working as a stock boy at John Wanamaker's, I would listen to WNEW-FM and Jonathan Schwartz was ending his career at NEW, so he gave a clue as who his successor would be. He said his successor has the initials of a Yankee starting pitcher. The answer was Doc Ellis (Who later admitted to pitching a game while tripping on LSD). So, Doc Ellis = Dennis Elsas.

the greatest thing is, June co-chairs a music school for young women in MA called the IMA. bringing young girls & young women into the world of rock! an amazing place. so, proceeds from the book support the school.
